Owner and 35-year locksmith Steve Reeder says: “We do what we say we’re going to do – it’s as simple as that. When we say we’re going to be there at a certain time, we’ll be there to fix whatever the problem might be.”

Whether it’s commercial, home, or auto, when one calls a locksmith they’ve got a situation that calls for immediate attention. Founded as a traditional locksmith enterprise in 1989, Brass Key grew to become the local lock and security leader with a reputation for professionalism and ethical business practices. Well versed in commercial regulations, they’ve invested fully in the necessary training and equipment to install and service the latest technology in lock and access control systems.

“The biggest change is in electronic locksmithing, like card reader systems and some manufacturers are using transponder systems and even keyless, fobik technologies to start vehicles. Although mechanical locks still dominate the field, keeping up with the ever-changing technology is a must for his industry. “It’s something we really do enjoy.”
